2.5 Contingent strategies for Livestock, Poultry & Fisheries 2.5.1 Livestock Suggested contingency measures

Before the event During the event After the event

Drought Feed and fodder

availability As the district is occasionally prone to drought

the following practices may be implemented to

prevent fodder shortage problem

Sowing of cereals (fodder varieties of Sorghum/

Bajra) and leguminous crops (Lucerne,

Berseem, Horse gram, Cowpea) during North-

East monsoon under dry land system for fodder

production.

Collection of soybean and chick pea stover for

Harvest and use biomass of dried up crops

(Rice, wheat, Maize, Soybean, Black gram,

Green gram, chick pea etc., ) material as

fodder

Harvest all the top fodder available (Subabul,

Glyricidia, Pipol, Prosopis etc) and feed the LS

during drought

Concentrate ingredients such as Grains,

Encourage progressive farmers to

grow multi cut fodder crops of

sorghum/bajra/maize with input

subsidy

Supply of quality stem cuttings of

Hybrid napier (CO1), paragrass,

guinea grass etc., well before

monsoon

27

use as feed supplement during drought

Preserving the green maize fodder as silage

Encourage fodder production with Bajra – stylo-

Bajra on rotation basis and also to cultivate

short-term fodder crops like sunhemp

brans, chunnies & oilseed cakes, low

grade grains etc. unfit for human

consumption should be procured from

Govt. Godowns for feeding as supplement

for high productive animals during

drought

Promotion of Horse gram as contingent crop

and harvesting it at vegetative stage as fodder

Continuous supplementation of minerals and

vitamin to prevent infertility.

Encourage mixing available kitchen waste

with dry fodder while feeding to the milch

animals

Encourage growing fodder crops

like Berseem in winter and Juar

in summer season

Flushing the stock to recoup

Replenish the feed and fodder

banks

Drinking water Adopt various water conservation methods at

village level to improve the ground water level

for adequate water supply.

Identification of water resources

De-silting of ponds

Rain water harvesting and create water

bodies/watering points (when water is scarce

use only as drinking water for animals)

Construction of drinking water tanks in herding

places/village junctions/relief camp locations

Community drinking water trough can be

arranged in sandies /community grazing areas

Adequate supply of drinking water.

Restrict wallowing of animals in water

bodies/resources; Add alum in stagnated water

bodies

Watershed management practices

shall be promoted to conserve the

rainwater. Bleach (0.1%) drinking

water / water sources

Provide clean drinking water

Health and diseases

vaccines for important endemic diseases of the

All the stock must be immunized for endemic

diseases of the area

Surveillance and disease monitoring network to

be established at Joint Director (Animal

Husbandry) office in the district

Adequate refreshment training on draught

management to be given to VAS, Jr.VAS, LI

with regard to health & management measures

Procure and stock multivitamins & area specific

mineral mixture

into relief camps

Identification and quarantine of sick animals

Constitution of Rapid Action Veterinary Force

Performing ring vaccination (8 km radius) in

case of any outbreak

Restricting movement of livestock in case of

any epidemic

Tick control measures be undertaken to

prevent tick borne diseases in animals

Rescue of sick and injured animals and their

treatment

Organize with community, daily lifting of

dung from relief camps

disease outbreak.

Undertake the vaccination

depending on need

Keep the animal houses clean and

spray disinfectants Farmers

should be advised to breed their

milch animals during July-

September so that the peak milk

production does not coincide with

mid summer

Floods NA Cyclone NA

Heat wave and cold wave

Heat wave i) Plantation around the shed

ii) H2O sprinklers / foggers in the shed

iii) Application of white reflector paint on

the roof

iv) Thatched sheds should be provided as a

shelter to animal to minimize heat

stress

Allow the animals early in the morning or late

in the evening for grazing during heat waves

Feed green fodder/silage / concentrates during

day time and roughages / hay during night

time in case of heat waves

Put on the foggers / sprinklers /fans during

heat weaves in case of high yielders

(Jersey/HF crosses)

In severe cases, vitamin ‘C’ and electrolytes

should be added in H2O during heat waves.

Feed the animals as per routine

schedule

Allow the animals for grazing

(normal timings)

Cold wave Covering all the wire meshed walls / open area

with gunny bags/ polyethylene sheets (with a

mechanism for lifting during the day time and

Allow for grazing between 10AM to 3PM

during cold waves

Add 25-50 ml of edible oil in concentrates and

Apply / sprinkle lime powder in the animal

shed during cold waves to neutralize ammonia

Insurance Encouraging insurance of livestock Listing out the details of the dead animals Submission for insurance claim

and availing insurance benefit

Purchase of new productive

animals

2.5.2 Poultry Suggested contingency measures


Drought

Shortage of feed

ingredients

Storing of house hold grain like maize,

broken rice etc, in to use as feed in case of

severe drought

Supplementation only for productive birds

with house hold grain

Supplementation of shell grit (calcium) for

laying birds

Culling of weak birds

Supplementation to all survived

birds

Drinking water Use water sanitizers or offer cool hygienic

drinking water

Health and disease

management

Culling of sick birds.

De-worming and vaccination against RD and

IBD

Mixing of Vit. A,D,E, K and B-complex

including vit C in drinking water (5ml in one

litre water)

Hygienic and sanitation of

poultry house

Disposal of dead birds by burning

/ burying with lime powder in pit

Shelter/environment management

Heat wave: Provision of proper shelter with

good ventilation

In severe cases, foggers/water

sprinklers/wetting of hanged gunny bags

should be arranged

Don’t allow for scavenging during mid day

Routine practices are followed

Cold wave: Provision of proper shelter

Arrangement for brooding

Assure supply of continuous electricity

Close all openings with polythene sheets

In severe cases, arrange heaters

Don’t allow for scavenging during early

morning and late evening


Health and disease management

De-worming and vaccination against RD and

fowl pox

Supplementation of house hold grain

Provide cool and clean drinking water with

electrolytes and vit. C

In hot summer, add anti-stress probiotics in

drinking water or feed


2.5.3 Fisheries/ Aquaculture

Suggested contingency measures


Drought Shallow water in ponds

due to insufficient

rains/inflow

1. Restricted release of water from reservoir.

2. Supplementary water harvest structures like

pond and tanks have to be developed.

3. Renovation and maintenance of existing

water harvest structures

1. Restrict lifting of water for irrigation

purpose of crops

2. Catch the stock, market the produce to

reduce the density of population in ponds.

1. Excavate the ponds to

increase the depth.

2. Try to release water into the

pond if it rains in off-season

Impact of heat & salt

load build up in ponds /

change in water quality

1. Prepare to release water into the habitat 1. Mixing of water from the water harvest

structure like ponds and tanks into the

fish habitat.

1. Monitoring the water quality

and health of aquatic

organisms
